Still "in progress"

I'm still garter ribbing away at my ASANA. I'm almost finished with the upper part and then have to do the two tabs for the center back. It should be done in the next week or two and then I have to make some real decisions about straps and closures. Yuck.

I need a side project.

Felted Buttonhole Bag

I finally uploaded a few pictures of the buttonhole bag I finished in March. The pattern for the bag can be found on Mason-Dixon Knitting (see links list)

Passing

Today my Beloved Grandfather passed away. I can't possibly explain what amazingly noble soul he was and how much warmth, love, generosity and goodness he brought to this world.

Internet at home, such a priviledge

I finally got Netzero to work on my home computer now that I have OSX. Yay!!!

I've been without home internet for about a year and a half and am so excited to be able to waste more time online and find last minute directions. I just wish I didn't have to work tomorrow so I could stay up late and be an internet bum. Shame.

But at least now I'll be able to blog from home AND work.

Brickish- the knitting series

When life gives you:

synthic acrylics that are really scratchy in bright crafty colors... make ugly kitch cozies for things and people that don't need or want cozies. (I'm thinking of making one for the Mini Webber Grill that looks wrong sitting in our kitchen)

5 lbs of Chunky weight wool that is rough and won't felt ...experiment with hair dyes. (I never did have the courage to actually use that fire engine red on my actual head anyhow)

wool yarn that falls apart...felt.
